The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
With such books as Rapt: Attention and the Focuses Life, The Power of Place, and Just the Way You Are, Winifred Gallagher has been writing insightfully about how we perceive and know different things in different ways. Her newest book brings a bit of a smile with it: New: Understanding Our Need for Novelty and Change (Penguin Press) is a new book that we are delighted about, one that probes beyond the surface of matters such as being excited about the newest book, to behavioral and neuroscientific reasons for our affinity for novelty. "A bright look at our fascination with the new and different. Gallagher examines how we deal with the ever-increasing amount of novelty and rate of change in our lives ... 'we already crunch four times more data ... than we did just 30 years ago,' writes the author ... Engaging and cautionary." – Kirkus Reviews.
